Abies koreana 'Horstmann's Silberlocke' I think @thistlebloom has one of these. Tall enough without being a big evergreen topping out at 15-20ft it would be fun to decorate. Plus lots of year round appeal.....something to think about.

I like the Concolor too that she suggested.

My Daddy grew Christmas trees. He grew Virginia Pines, he had to trim them to the Christmas tree shape, but they made real nice trees.

White pine is used as a Christmas tree commercially and would do well in your clay soil NYboy, but it has to be sheared to keep that shape. It's mature shape is a little more irregular and open. But it could take a long time to grow too big to shear.

Client just gave me a potted christmas tree. Dwarf Alberta Spruce Conica Picea Glauca, I put it in a outside planter in it's pot. If it makes it though winter will plant in yard. label claims deer resistant, mature size 6 to 8 feet tall perfect !

How nice! You just have to watch those DAS when there's a cold dry winter wind, or if the soil gets too dry. Once they have a dead spot they never grow needles back there.
